FAQ

Restaurants questions answered

What restaurant queries does Scope track?+
Scope tracks cuisine-specific queries ("best Thai restaurant in [city]"), occasion queries ("romantic restaurant for anniversary"), and feature queries ("restaurants with private dining rooms"). You can also add custom queries specific to your restaurant's specialty.
Do I need to be on Yelp or OpenTable for AI visibility?+
These platforms contribute data that AI systems use, so yes, having strong profiles there matters. But Scope's optimization work goes deeper — ensuring your website, menu, and structured data are all configured to signal your restaurant correctly to AI models.
How is AI visibility different from being on Google Maps for restaurants?+
Google Maps shows proximity-based results. AI recommendations are intent-based — when someone asks "best date night restaurant," AI picks the places that match that specific experience, regardless of exact location. Being recommended for the right occasions drives real bookings.
Do menu markup and reservation platforms affect AI restaurant picks?+
Yes. AI systems frequently retrieve menu pages, cuisine tags, price range, and OpenTable/Resy signals when answering occasion prompts. Incomplete menus or missing cuisine categories make it harder for models to match you to "date night Italian" or "gluten-free pizza" queries.
